Experience the Best Chess Courses at Chess District

Despite the chess game being globally popular, the majority of people don’t fully understand the basic rules, main opening moves and checkmate tactics. Scrolling through countless pages and hours of videos from various non-certified chess enthusiasts can seem like you are just going in circles and not really elevating your game. That’s why a structured learning approach by a global FIDE (International Chess Federation) certified chess grandmaster coach is the only way to go if you truly want to lean and master the game.

Over the past 25 years of playing chess, teaching my students and competing in the world’s top chess leagues, I learned what it takes to fully comprehend the requirements and steps needed to learn the chess game both for personal pleasure and in order to gain enhanced mental flexibility which benefits my every day life.

I created Chess District so that I can pass on my chess grandmaster skills to both children and adults using the chess learning curriculum from FIDE. With chess courses from Chess District, every student will get a change to follow my footsteps and achieve total chess domination against any opponent.

What do other people say about our courses?
★★★★★

As a beginner with some experience, the Beginner course is a great introduction to chess! Nikola presents the basics in a clear, simple understanding and does a great job of setting a relaxed and focused pace for learning. His examples and work are shown in a step-by-step visual format and he has crafted an effective way to teach that makes learning fun and engaging. This course took me 3 hours to complete. Before this course I was having trouble with castling and understanding some basic fundamentals of how the pieces interact. I can confidently say this course has given me exactly what I needed to strengthen my game and move forward with my passion for chess.

★★★★★

Nikola was the first coach I had in the master years of my playing career. He inspired me with his creativity and joy for the game. He taught me the importance of playing serious openings, and what it meant to show professionalism in chess. He is a very caring coach who knows how to have a good laugh, but also take the necessary steps when it comes to constructive criticism. I’m now an IM with 2 GM norms making my own pursuit of the GM title, and I am still very grateful for the confidence Nikola was able to instill in my play.

I know Nikola for 10+years and I always admired his professionalism and methodical based approach to chess and detailed preparation for each game. While we were exchanging ideas before, it only recently struck me that he would be a great fit for my team, both personally and chess wise. He was a crucial part of my successful quest in winning the 4th national chess title.

I’ve been doing lessons with Nikola for over a year and his style of coaching continues to challenge me and make me a better player. Between his training tools and breadth of chess knowledge, I’ve been thoroughly pleased with the coaching I’ve received. He is flexible and understanding and can be both instructional and motivational when you need. Im grateful to have met Nikola and continue to be learning chess with him!
